Queen of /fillm/
>>214915278>Favourite Clint Eastwood film?Not fucking Pale Rider. Play Misty for Me was kino.
We're all fucking Pale Rider here.
>>214917352it's so fucking over....
>>214915278Bronco Billy is very underrated
>>214917382I'm normally not one for doomsaying, but:>still moving at a snail's pace>last thread died well before the bump limit>haven't used the /film/ name in two threads or so with it being unclear if it can ever returnNot looking good :(
>>214917837Agreed :/
I watched Night of the Hunter for the first time recently. I found the antagonist to be pretty compelling. Any thoughts on the movie?
>>214915278oh this is where you are. i prefer /fartclass/ or /fart/, this is impossible to search for
>>214918183i liked charles laughton in white woman
>>214917837>last thread died well before the bump limitthe last thread got nuked and i could barely find this one, call it something searchable in the catalog
>>214918488Never seen it. What's it about? I never really rated Robert Mitchum before but his performance as the preacher was excellent. Now I know where the love/hate hand tattoos that I've seen in other places came from
>>214918570it's apocalypse now with no budget from the perspective of colonel kurtz and carole lombard is fucking him and it's very camp
>>214918515Last thread didn't get nuked. I know because I was the last anon that posted in it.
>>214919096>1 hour 40mins between this thread being made and the last post in that threadthere's no way that a thread fell off the catalog in 1 hour 40mins, that's a nuke
>>214919272>there's no way that a thread fell off the catalog in 1 hour 40minsStranger things have happened.
>>214919272??? Not only is what you described possible, you can still view the last thread. It didn't get nuked or autosaged: >>214869954
>about to hit peak /hor/>meanwhile proper /film/ bakes are autosaging after arguably the slowest period all yearSpooky…
>>214920255Which mod power tripped? Fuck is xer deal with this general.
>general dead>catalog deaddid Hiro finally rangeban India?
The mod that banned me the last time is done for. Films for this feel?
>>214921457I'm not seeing any posts about a certain Canadian actress, so you might be onto something.
>>214921457>>214922059Sadly, you might be onto something. It would be better if certain other spammers would get swatted and their HDDs checked.
"Now what's slower than Slowpoke Rodriguez?"/fillm/ THREAD!
is it true that grandrieux is making new kino or is it wikipedia trolling?>>214918183the mood and cinematography is great but the child actors are actually terrible. it’s a shame, really
>>214923588>the child actors are actually terribleAgreed. The little girl is especially bad.
>>214923607if you want to see great acting by children you should watch jeux interdit (1952). it was one of sam peckinpah’s favorite films which is sort of heartwarming
What Bresson joint should I watch following this steamer? Donkey & Dopey? It has to be at least twice as good.>>214923502>30 replies in 10 hoursWe're in the doldrums now. Suppose I'll be back when my thread hits bump limit.
>>214923747You should have probably watched Bresson chronologically. Devil Probably is a pretty difficult film to get into. I myself still not a big fan of it, it's too meandering even if that's the point. Those dialogues / monologues melt my brain.
>>214923747You need a brain to process Bresson, sorry.
>>214923747>Donkey & DopeyKek. Linguistic killshot. Dopey and Breedy btfo.
>>214924858fuck this mean
>>214925941Some gay lingo some niggas use for some reason.
>mfw page 9>>214924505I found the discussion about foot tread more interesting than all the unfocused whining about the bleak state of France, considering half the film consists of amateur actors just walking around. Sure, let's show a laundry list of atrocities like a baby seal getting clubbed then do absolutely nothing with it. If you don't like that, maybe you'll enjoy high-level unfocused discussions about domestic politics and Protestantism. This one filtered me hard.>>214924854I thought Pickpocket was great so I'm pretty sure it's not that.>>214924858We all love playfully putting down Wiazemsky here.
High plains drifter
sorry /film/, but I need a real general to satisfy me. I'm leaving you for /hor/, and I'm taking the lolis.
>>214926489Thank the J man, finally!
effedupmovies introduced me to a lot of great /film/ entries. where do you guys watch your stuff?
>>214915278QOTD : I'd obviously say Unforgiven
>>214926632My plex or my computer? lol
>>214926632does effedupmovies have a catalogue of japanese film?
i have decided to make some chocolate chip cookies, and in the meantime, have the pleasure, perhaps displeasure, of viewing, experiencing and or exposing my senses to the chalk garden 1964.
>>214926489/hor/ during October is pure insanity. It gets messy. Nasty. It can turn into the Wild West, even. Prepared to be shit on and impersonated but also, have fun. We'll celebrate on Friday.
Once you unlearn the debilitating concept of "genres", suddenly everything is beautiful.
>>214927300I'm uploading something to gofile for you, specifically... Don't let the thread die.>>214927330David Foster Wallace spoke of how, if one were to lose context for their surrounds, a single walk around the city would be enough to amuse oneself to death.
Once you unshackle yourself from the depravity of french cinema, the world suddenly becomes beautiful.
>>214927505>I'm uploading something to gofile for you, specifically... Don't let the thread die.Nice, this thread? I'm excited yet cautious…
>>214927033Should have watched The CEMENT Garden 1993.
feeling homosexual (for no particular reason)
>>214928170it appears that the cement garden 1993 has within it incest between a brother and sister. no thank you. incidentally, i browsed my library for the word garden and these are the titles that appear: the secret garden 1949 (excellent), garden of words 2013 (anime), and the garden 1995 (slav). i have yet to see the latter. do you perhaps have any appropriate suggestions for films that contain the word garden in its title?
>>214915278>Favourite Clint Eastwood film?Either Letters From Iwo Jima or Outlaw Josey WalesAnyway, I watched picrel, really liked it. Any thoughts about it here?
>>214928295Clint Eastwood has that effect on lesser men
>>214928416The Master Gardener? Would that be to your taste? I haven't even seen it.>>214928466Anna Karina allegedly thought Godard made her look frumpy in it. I thought she was rather stunning.
>>214927861That looks disgusting. Nice jpeg sike
>>214928510i do not watch recently released films, unless it is anime. the way i approach it is that i do not want to expose myself to media made by people whose job it is to undermine my current worldview through the use of allegorical, analogical or whatever means of expression when there is a wealth of media from the past which does not pertain to the current socio-political and economic tribulations of the day. perhaps the master gardener 2022 is vacuumed in its own little universe without malign intentions, but i very much doubt it. i will ask again, do you or do you not have more appropriate recommendations for films that contain the word gardener in its title/>
SHE SAID THE THING GUYS AAAHHHH
>>214928810Disgusting, evil whore.
>>214928851
>>214928510>I thought she was rather stunning.Yeah I really loved the whole sort of flapper look she had.
>>214928810I really wanted to pinch her cheeks through the whole duration of the film.
Behold.. the power of french cinema
Thoughts /film/?>>214925156>>214925156
Wth was that deleted post
>>214929461She's so goofy looking. Massive Shelley Duvall vibes.
>>214928877Based.
>>214928851There's likely a Béa Dalle/Vinny Gallo sextape out there. Terrifying to think about.
>>214915278poster artist Renato Casaro died today
>>214931189
>>214931189Never heard of the guy, but it's a pretty sick portfolio. RIP
>>214931246his last work was in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
>>214931289
>>214928466>Any thoughts about it here?I'm gonna write a thesis like article on the movie. I think it's the best french new wave joint of all time and a top 5 film of all time.>>214926048>High plains drifterThe correct answer
This Matroska video is brought to you by the Seraphic looking, cherubic looking, not-Shelley-Duvall of /fillm/ (double L).DIARY OF A COUNTRY PRIEST (1951) by Robert Bresson.https://gofile.io/d/xXFSdQA 1080p downscale of the Japanese 4K Studio Canal release (which only came with Nipponese subs), but with English subtitles ripped from the Criterion DVD. The film itself is arguably the start of Bresson's ascetic, minimalistic, spiritual, yadda-yadda style. But with profound ruminations on faith and the loss thereof, it remains one of his most eminently approachable and penetrable works. One of Martin Scorsese's favorite movies. Enjoy.>>214927861Have a go (heh) at it.
>“Very few cinematographers, other than the Europeans, know how to light women like they used to in the old days.”
THIS IS THE WAY IWOULD HAVE DONE THINGS
>>214932125Thought that was a young Samantha Eggar for a bit. Wrong Cronenberg actress, I suppose.
>page 10
Bridges of Madison County is Clint's best film but few of you will be ready to acknowledge that
the number of eastwood films that i've wasted my time on? zero.
>>214933738Not a real cinephile.
>>214933738I remember Invictus being shown in my class. I'm not sure why, exactly.
>>214934002perbaps anon may explain to the thread what makes eastwood so cinephilic because it is lost on someone who dreams of marrying a japanese woman while a group of shamisen performers sing and make music
>>214934380He's kino.

>>214935399What's worse, trash or garbage? What's the full scale like?
>>214932053I'm downloading it right now and may even end up watching tonight. Thanks a lot, Dallefren.
I miss the nastassja pics, what happened to him?
>>214935445trash goes into the garbage to be taken away to a landfill for disposal. the positive end of the scale is as follows, productions that are considered good are not yet great, far from pleasant, and could only ever dream of being excellent.
>>214935537Me too :/ I spotted him on /hor/ a couple days back.
Sarah Gadon won
Chuck could wood woodchuck
>>214931656>I think it's the best french new wave joint of all time and a top 5 film of all time.Good choice. It's not my favorite but I get why it's rated so highly, it really innovated a lot when it comes to story structure and presentation. Definitely my favorite Godard (I find Breathless to be too cliche-ridden despite its charms and good looks).
>>214915278can he still get it up?
>>214937286I agree with all you said except the Breathless part. You can't go wrong with girl and a gun; it's a tried formula and should be done more often. We need more romanticized Bonnie and Clyde cinema with submissive qts.>>214937318Of course.
>>214937429>We need more romanticized Bonnie and Clyde cinema with submissive qts.Agreed. I was both disappointed and impressed recently when Caught Stealing killed Zoe Kravitz right in the middle of the film instead of going with a Bonnie and Clyde angle. Come to think of it I can't think of a movie like that released in the past decade or so.
>>214937286>>214937866Hey, I watched your rec recently. Can't say I was terribly impressed unfortunately.
>>214938192>watches dumb unfunny 00s sex comedy>shocked it's a dumb unfunny 00s sex comedyThat was a joke rec in a reaction image thread. If you also watched The Ritual (2025) then I feel really bad for you kek.
>>214937866Yeah, it's actually weird that they don't exploit that angle more in modern cinema, given that it actually connects with deep psychological desires for both females and males (protection and loyalty). It's also funny to think that, as far as I know, Bonnie and Clyde was the first film to make moralists go batshit insane over violence in american cinema. The film's badass, the themes are badass and I feel we need those kinds of criminal stories to connect with the audience beyond some political agenda, specially when they use the "Robbin Hood" trope, which is also underused nowadays. Really makes you think about how the billionaires have manipulated the narrative to make someone like Elon look like a hero to the masses. We live in randian times.
>>214938516>given that it actually connects with deep psychological desires for both females and malesI think that's why. It's sort of an unspoken rule in post-2014 Hollywood that you can't depict women in more traditional roles even if they are depicted in an unconventional or radical setting/context; you have to depict them in more masculine roles or settings or have them be at the minimum unconventional depictions of beauty and womanhood when they are in more feminine roles.
Good morning sars
>page 9Bros… I don't think this thread's gonna last.
Based on a novel by Mishima Yukio, The School of Flesh (1965) tells the story of a beautiful designer descended from nobility (Kishida Kyōko), who breaks away from an unhappy marriage after the war to greedily pursue a wild and pure love. Kinoshita Ryō directs this sophisticated tale of romantic intrigue in high style.Following three glamorous 39-year-old single women in similar circumstances as they enthusiastically discuss each other's affairs and evaluate men, the novel refreshingly depicts the heroine's nobility against the backdrop of a subtle psychology of love and the shifting social classes of the era.First serialized in the magazine Mademoiselle from January to December 1963, it was published as a single volume by Shueisha in February, 1964. Translations have been published in France and China, among other countries. Mishima's novel has also been adapted as L'école de la chair (1998), directed by Benoît Jacquot and starring Isabelle Huppert.https://gofile.io/d/LrWmgD

We need to get to the bottom of this autosaging situation or it's unironically over.
>>214932053thank you very much anon. Bonne Chance
>>214941018TRVTH NVKE
>>214938832But you know, Bonnie and Clyde were rebels outcasted from society, so it could work. It's a cool concept, but maybe the powers that be don't want rebels out in the street, I don't know.
I'LL FAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY WITH SOME HELPFROM JOHNNIE WALKER RED
>>214941654>the powers that be don't want rebels out in the streetAlso this. They only want "rebels" if they contribute to culture war strategy of tension shit that distracts from the fucked shit they're doing.That's why they make stuff like One Battle After Another and Athena while claiming older, legitimately subversive albeit mainstream stuff like Taxi Driver and Fight Club are "problematic" and/or communist/fascist.
any lesser known mystery films? preferably something that's not completely pretentious as in it was all in le head.
>>214941844Ever seen the original Cape Fear with Robert Mitchum? I think it's far superior to the De Niro one.

We're all redeeming here.
>>214943224I wasn't aware you were the one sharing films... Were you the one who first posted Revolution Is a Violent Uprising or was it someone else and you just adapted it in chameleonic fashion?
feeling nostalgic and going over some happy times of /film/, where surprisingly despite the bullshit I've received countless excellent recommendations. special shoutout to the anon who recced Three Crowns of the Sailor and City of Pirates all those years ago when I asked for something like Lynch. truly revelatory and i don't know anywhere else I would've received that rec. yes i am a huge faggot
>>214942685At least they posted.
/film/ has had some ups and downs which have had positive and negative impacts on my development. notably, for the latter, there have been truly terrible recommendations, such as the three crowns of the sailor and city of pirates, whose presence in this thread itt has all but succeeded in overthrowing the rightful pathway for those destined for greatness; and, for the ups, demon pond 1979, an inspector calls 1954, the chalk garden 1964, and many more, have battled in an endless war wrought with bickering and back and forths, but as with most engagements there is an archetype of valor and virtue at the ready to endure the hardship of existence by fighting back against the untrue, the vice and immorality present in mankind.
>>214944948NTA but picking literal dogslop over Ruiz? ngmi
>>214945042the description of film as dogslop shows a severe misunderstnading, perhaps deliberately so, which obscures the cruel and ugly nature you have adopted from watching films by people like ruiz. to be clear, my dogs do not eat film, nor its contents.
>>214945524my dogs eat film all the time
>>214943192well I mean it's not exactly bit starved or anything but still
We're all still here.

On track for another ~48hr thread.
>when a comedy works just thanks to the charisma of the lead actorкинo
>>214946290hopefully the youtube release is just for publicity and they'll do an actual blu-ray release
I watched Pig, does it count as arthouse?
>>214946719This might actually be the first 72-hour thread.
>>214948277Maybe (if you don't count he one that stayed up during the hack).
What the fuck is the car accident in Pierrot le Fou about
>>214948433It's just nonsense Godard absurdity. It's a self aware contrivance for the main characters to get away from the police. Then over the course of the scene he slowly reveals the scene of the accident; a small section of bridge in the middle of nowhere. It breaks our immersions completely but then he lingers on it and shows the characters running around it and going into the country side which confirms that this absurd setpiece and the world the characters inhabit are all one and the same. It's retard kino 10/10 god bless Godard and the French race
>>214948277Yeah I was just thinking the same thing.
